I feel kinda funny about resurrecting this discussion, but I found an article about the furry fandom that I think is very well-written, so I decided to post it. I emailed the author for permission to reprint it on my website, but for now it can be found at: <a href='http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/4003436/' target='_blank'>http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/4003436/</a>,

Ech, not bad.<br>Few spelling and grammar issues, and some stuff not properly explained but not bad.<br><br>Plus, there are people who don't prefer anthro to human.<br>The feel of humans to anthro to animals are very different and people are generally orientated to one of them and some of the others.

I believe we have a winner. That's the most in-depth look I've seen yet. It's the most well-rounded, too, as it talks about all the aspects of furrydom, but doesn't pigeonhole furries to any one aspect.

I'm not going to take the time to read that whole article, as it's quite long. But, the pieces I did read were very nicely written, so this article is the one I'll start using when people ask me what a furry is. Thanks for posting this, BSP! [wags tail and stalks off to catch dinner]

When people ask me what a furry is, I just wag my tail and lick them j/k <!--emo&:P--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /><!--endemo-->
